sure, i could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. she seemed so content in her observation. i didnt want to mess with that.another 15 minutes passed and i grew bored. the woman was still there. i decided to take the photo anyway. and now when i look at it, i think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. the landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.this photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined”it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. what would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some strangers bedroom wall? a bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman i dont even know has been immortalized(使永存). in some ways, she lives in my house.perhaps we all live in each others spaces. perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.that photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.5.what happened when the author was about to take a photo?a.her camera stopped working.b.a woman blocked her view.c.someone asked her to leave.d.a friend approached from behind.6.according to the author, the woman was probably .a.enjoying herselfb.losing her patiencec.waiting for the sunsetd.thinking about her past7.in the authors opinion, what makes the photo so alive?a.the rich color of the landscape.b.the perfect positioning of the camera.c.the womans existence in the photo.d.the soft sunlight that summer day.8.the photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand .a.the need to be close to natureb.the importance of private spacec.the joy of the vacation in italyd.the shared passion for beauty9.the passage can be seen as the authors reflections upon .a.a particular life experienceb.the pleasure of travelingc.the art of photographyd.a lost friendship答案5.b6.a7.c8.d9.a第三节 任务型阅读in workplaces and families across the world, people tend to communicate on the internet. we send endless emails;we video chat rather than travel across the town to meet.actually, sitting down and interacting with someone in person can seem like a rare luxury nowadays.but as technology develops, are we losing our ability to connect and empathize (移情) with others?empathy is the ability to feel another persons emotions and understand his/her views. in the past few decades, researchers have emphasized our ability to literally read others. the way we usually try to detect other peoples emotions is through their facial expressionstheir eyes in particular. we are told that “the eyes are the windows of the soul”, and eye contact is certainly critical in empathy.however, empathy relies on more than reading facial expressions. new research suggests our voice can greatly help us connect.a new study by michael kraus from yale university has found that our sense of hearing may be even stronger than our sight when it comes to accurately detecting peoples emotions. in other words, you may be able to sense someones emotional state even better over the phone than in person. kraus conducted three experiments to arrive at the conclusion. in all these experiments, the participants gave the best performance when they only heard peoples voices (compared to when they looked at facial expressions alone, or looked at facial expressions and heard voices).in several follow-up studies, kraus directed his attention to why the voice is such a powerful mode of empathy. he asked the participants to discuss a difficult work situation over a video conferencing platform using either just the microphone or the microphone and the video. once again, the participants were more accurate at detecting peoples emotions in voice-only calls. when we only listen to the voice, he found, we simply focus more on the nuances (细微差别) as the speakers express themselves.how can we get better at interpreting emotions in the voices of our coworkers and loved ones? there isnt much research so far exploring this question specifically. one study on babies cries suggested that parents with more musical training were better at distinguishing cries of distress from other types of cries.but, really, we might not need much training. kraus found that, once you remove other inputs (like facial expressions), your attention naturally sharpens when it comes to voice messages.besides, the human ability to catch nuances in voices may have offered a strong evolutiona
